Oh man, my Topology teacher was way into knot theory, I think that was his research topic. So much so that he would go on long tirades about it in his classes. Great for those of us in his Topology classes, not so much for his Linear Algebra classes.

Got any good book or YouTube recommendations for knots and braids? (Exploring the math)

I never really got into knots (mathematically) and that class was over a decade ago. This playlist looks pretty good though.

Really, though, it's surprising how many other fields knot theory shows up in.

a knot is a nautical mile per hour

prex@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 130d

Historically a minute (of longitude at the equator) per hour.

But it isn't an abbreviation. It's from how many knots would pass through one's hands in a prescribed time from the speed measuring float and rope
